After the pandemic shock, it is an economic shock that we collectively began to suffer in 2022. And there is no indication that this will improve as the new year turns.
In fact, it’s quite the opposite: prepare for bad economic news — including a very possible recession — to multiply in 2023.
This is one of the main findings of the major end-of-year dossier that we are publishing today and in which journalists from all our sections participated.
A major exercise
In addition to this economic reality that is likely to mark 2023, our journalists have taken part in the exercise of trying to predict what the new year will look like in a host of sectors of activity.
What could and what should happen, as we celebrate by collectively turning the last page of the calendar?
In short, all the sections of the Journal are participating in this exercise which is certainly not scientific, but which nevertheless allows us to anticipate what awaits us in the coming months. On this long holiday, we are convinced that you will appreciate taking the time to read this special 30-page file.
You will be able to easily recognize the pages that make it up, using the “What 2023 has in store for us” sticker that they all display.
Great missing
As is the case at the end of each year, we are also taking advantage of this last edition of 2022 to mark the departure of personalities from all walks of life who have left us during the last 12 months.
Happy reading and Happy New Year!
